Re: Stus-List Baby stay vs Cunningham?

Ultimately, to answer your question, IMO the Cunningham is a valuable addition. For me adjusting halyard tension is more difficult than adjusting Cunningham. My Cunningham is a 5 to 1 fiddle block arrangement which pulls down on a pennant that passes through the luff cringle (2 to 1) resulting

I'm just as surprised as anyone. I know that 1.34 times the square root of 24.75 (Grenadine's waterline in feet) is 6.67 knots. But apparently that's only a very general rule - see http://www.boats.com/reviews/crunching-numbers-hull-speed-boat-length and

Re: Stus-List Baby stay vs Cunningham?

Mike I believe you are correct but isn't that simply a side effect? Leech tension and sail twist should be controlled by the mail sheet and vang. In fact I think the opening of the leech is experienced more with changes in backstay tension as a result of changing the position of the masthead.

Here is the reply from Loos:"PT gauges are for wire rope only, there is no conversion for rod. The statement on the web site only infers that we make both kinds."I guess it is RT series or nothing.  I have contacted the store in Newport, we will see if that pans out.  Thanks for all the help!Jim

They both "depower" the main‎ but it's not the same thing going on: As the wind builds it pushes the max draft in the ‎main aft. This increases drag until it slows the boat and increases heel. The Cunningham brings the max. draft forward again to make the aerofoil more effective. It increases

Re: Stus-List Loos RT-10 rod tension gauge

Bought mine for ~$500. There are ways to tune the rig without but I like the consistency and scientific order to doing it with a tension gauge. My understanding is that you need an RT-10 or RT-11 for rod rigging. The important factor being that rod is naturally more rigid than wire thus the

Re: Stus-List Loos RT-10 rod tension gauge

Mike,I think you are correct, yes.  I do see some indication that the PT series works for rod though.  Anybody using one of those?  That would be more in that $100 range as well.http://loosnaples.com/tension-gauges/professional-modelsJim Original Message Subject: Re: Stus-List

Re: Stus-List Loos RT-10 rod tension gauge

Their model 90 is substantially cheaper. If you are a rigger, you probably want the better model RT-10. But for checking the tension of you rig, a model 90 (there are two types (A and B) and you have to figure out which one would work for you) should be sufficient. And they cost around $100.

Re: Stus-List Baby stay vs Cunningham?

Cunningham does flatten the sail but simply due to luff tension. If a baby stay is able to pull the belly of the mast forward then the luff is also pulled forward and the resulting shape of the sail is flatter. Josh On Thu, May 18, 2017, 8:18 AM Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List
